My story (with an assist from the great @pg_sierrahenry) on Illinois Democrats' proposed legislative remap 👇
After a year where many couples saw their celebrations fizzle, there's a new problem: a logjam of marriages put on hold, ready for weddings. @kwatznauer with the report:

House Democrats have posted a far more detailed Google map of the proposed district boundaries. Take a look here #twill google.com/maps/d/u/1/vie…
After a decade with three senators repping Springfield, the capital city will largely be within one Senate district (shades of green). Rep. Sue Scherer’s House district (light green), which currently ends at Walnut Street, stretches out to Veterans Parkway on the west side.
The proposed 95th House district (dark green), includes much of Springfield’s south and west sides. It then swings up to the city’s north end, where it picks up GOP Rep. Tim Butler’s home.

A few preliminary takeaways:

As expected, @VoteforDoris’ 48th Senate district picks up much of Springfield’s west side and drops GOP-trending Macoupin and Montgomery counties. Still probably a toss-up seat, but gives her a much better chance to win a full term. #twill Image
As for the House side, Rep. Sue Scherer’s Springfield-Decatur seat remains intact. But Rep. @AveryBourne’s is significantly altered and now appears to include @RepTimButler’s northend home. Image
It appears Macon County would pick up a fourth senator picking up southern portions of the county and a fourth House member would pick up portions of the western part of the county.

And who represents those seats might change too.

There’s got to be at least 1,000 people protesting outside the Illinois Capitol today. Vast majority not wearing masks. No social distancing whatsoever. #twill
Chant of “Open Illinois!” breaks out. #twill
I’ve been out to a couple of these rallies in the past few weeks and this is easily the most well-attended. Lots of Trump flags, shirts and hats among the protesters. A few QAnon sightings as well. #twill
